Oh No, Cupid: Real Online Dating Emails From Random Dudes

Sure, we all hear about decent human beings connecting with each other via online dating sites then meeting up, hooking up, and even shacking up. But sites like OkCupid, Match.com, and others aren’t all virtual flowers and fairy-tale social-networking romances.

In fact, online dating can truly, epically, SUCK. Especially when an intelligent, smart, totally awesome woman must sort through piles of gnarly missives drafted by web-savvy Neanderthals to find her prince. Proof positive: this list of dispatches from the world’s most least eligible bachelors compiled by a friend of Refinery29, who is, bless, knee-deep in match-making “heaven.”

It is important to note, this story was inspired by an email from one of these fellows, which followed a first date and closed with: "and lastly, the only reason i didn't try to fuck you was because you really didn't appear to want that. :)"

Yes, a smiley face, because he's, you know, charming. Read on to see how great (and terrible) single life can truly be. [Ed. Note: All "handles" have been altered to protect the ignorant.]

"I'm a classic romantic and know how to treat a woman right. I’m living proof that chivalry isn’t dead just yet. I’m also a very honest and straightforward guy. I’m always going to be myself, so what you see is what you get. (I happen to think you’ll be getting a good thing, but that’s what this is all about, right?)I’m an energetic guy, but have a pretty mellow and laid back personality. I keep a positive attitude and am quite happy with my drama-free life. The only thing that’s missing is a great woman to share it with. There are plenty more adventures to be had. The question is which one should we go on first? A few other important things for you to know…I’m good cook and am pretty good at keeping the house in order, too. Oh…and the most important thing I’ve learned to do over the years is I will always put the toilet seat down. (It’s actually not that hard! Gravity does most of the work!)In terms of my match, I want a woman who takes care of herself and is up for trying new things. I'm looking for someone to hold hands with, cuddle by the fire, share a glass of wine, and a few passionate kisses along the way. At the end of our lives, I believe we will be measured, not by our material accomplishments, but by our relationships -- the quality and depth for which we loved. For me, above all is love... .... Love is healing... Love is happiness and much more... Communication and Commitment help us to return to love when we lose our way...If I were to time travel and look back across a completed lifetime, this is what I plan to be saying..What did i do with my life?? hmm... Lived a life guided by love... was lucky enough to have found one very special person and loved her with all my heart and soul, gave her my time, my attention, my loving support, and did the best i could to always be there...We didn't always agree on things, but that was the best part of us... What we did do, was always find a way to make it work -- for us, and for everyone involved... We shared many life experiences together always looking for ways to make them fun... and believe me, sometimes that was no small task!!We found ways to make each day an adventure, and every now and then, found a way to sneak in a real adventure too... but all in all, it was the sharing that made it special.
We are each far from perfect, but together... We were.... are....Perfection! So grateful and thankful am I, for the most wonderful opportunity of a lifetime.... to have lived a life of love...Later, when i asked my dogie what she thought, she said, "Hey, no one reads this stuff, they only look at the pictures... How about a biscuit and let's go for a walk!"Before we head off to the dog park, here is a bit more... Starting with, I'm more than a bit uncomfortable talking about me...would much prefer to learn more about you!"— TL;DR
